abdominal pain - should I be concerned?

I've had a fairly constant pain in my abdomen - inside my left hip bone. It started last night and has continued all day today. It's a fairly throbbing sort of pain - it isn't sharp or stabbing. I'm just wondering if anyone else has felt something similar or if I should go to the doctor?

ligament pain would make sense to me actually - I have problems with my ligaments all the time. Mine tend to be really lax and I suffer strains and muscle tears because of them (for example: my fingers all bend backwards well beyond 90 degrees - some so far the the nails end up backwards parallel to my hand).

It doesn't really feel directional, more like a point / ball of tenderness / pain?

I think I'll see how it goes for the next few hours and hopefully it settles down.

First Apple and Facebook announced they would pay $20,000 towards the cost of their female employees freezing their eggs, now IBM in the US has come up with an innovative new policy aimed at retaining female employees.
